Discover Chiemsee-Alpenland
Culture
A world-famous sight definitely worth seeing is the Herrenchiemsee Palace. It was built by King Ludwig II, in the style of Versailles. Especially beautiful is the idyllic, neighbouring island, of Fraueninsel with its monastery from the 8th century. One of the most famous exhibition centres in Germany, is located in the old locomotive sheds in Rosenheim. Well-known pageants and festivals, amazing opera days and attractive festivals make your stay in the region much more enjoyable.
Tip: Experience Bavarian customs and tradition with a musical evening in the hut followed by a torch-lit hike.
Tip: Twice a year, in July and December, the famous Erl Festival takes place in Tirol and attracts thousands of visitors in the small Austrian village Erl. The Tirol Festival presents productions of famous operas and piano concerts – from Richard Wagner to Verdi, Bach and Beethoven.
Culinary
Whether smoked, fried, baked or grilled – fish is an indispensable part of the cuisine of the Chiemsee-Alpenland region, an area rich in lakes and rivers. The region‘s innovative gastronomy places great emphasis on regional and quality food. Start the day with a regional breakfast, enjoy a Bavarian snack in the beer garden at lunchtime and round off in the evening with a meal in an exquisite Michelin star restaurant.
The alpine huts are particularly rustic offering real alpine cheese and a fresh, cool stein of beer to go with it.
Tip: Why not try the gin tasting at the Moor distillery in Kolbermoor for a special treat.

Towns
Go for a stroll, go shopping, or just go out. The towns in the Chiemsee-Alpenland region are definitely worth a visit.
Rosenheim with its Mediterranean flair is a city without a district and at the same time the district town for the rural district of Rosenheim (Upper Bavaria). It lies at the heart of the alpine foothills in Bavaria. As one of 23 centres in Upper Bavaria, Rosenheim is seen as the economic and cultural centre of the south-east Bavarian area. With over 60,000 inhabitants, Rosenheim is the third largest town in Upper Bavaria, after Munich and Ingolstadt.
Kolbermoor fascinates with its bold architecture on the site of the “Alten Spinnerei” (old spinning mills) and Wasserburg on the Inn with its historical old town.

Wellness
Let your body and mind wander as you float in the thermal spas and pools of the region. “Beauty & Wellness” is the motto of the dignified spa town of Bad Aibling.
As a “health region plus” we are an excellent destination for relaxing. Alongside the fresh mountain air and crystal clear lakes, there are large reserves of natural healing methods such as peat mud baths, thermal sulphur springs and iodine salt waters.
